Critical recommendations
1.1 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Going at 5.51 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Safe hands — 15 catches in 43 matches (0.35 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 28 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.72 for the level played (Rep Div 1 7 · Club 1). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 8 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 14 catches + 2 run outs (0 direct, 2 assisted) in 43 matches — 0.37 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 38 innings at 20.9 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- Not rated: 9 wickets from 86.0 overs across 26 matches bowled in (of 43 played) — 0.35 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
